Barwell Win Westerby Cup...
Barwell's dream start ensured the Westerby Cup went to Kirkby Road for the first time following a 2-0 win over Quorn at the Walkers Stadium last night.
The Canaries caught Quorn cold with two goals inside the first three minutes. Both goals came from set-pieces with Barwell's tigerish midfielder Craig Dutton opening the scoring with the game barely a minute old. A free-kick from former Leicester City youngster Adam Wykes was only partially cleared and Dutton conjured something out of nothing with a curling shot from the edge of the penalty area. It was 2-0 after two-and-a-half minutes when Francino Francis guided a header past Quorn goalkeeper Craig Jones from another delivery. Barwell striker Adam Cunnington hit the bar with a free-kick after 28 minutes as Quorn struggled to stay in contention. But the Unibond side finished the first half brightly and Paul White's header was palmed on to the bar by Barwell goalkeeper Liam Castle.
